Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it. Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in. Petty won't get dropped. Not that he shouldn't be imo. But he's got a fixed gig it seems.
leave it to deever 17,618 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 Out. Those responsible for the lack of depth in our list. Someone was asleep at the wheel.

These are the kinds of dynamic selection decisions S Goodwin is renowned for. Genius.

SthSea22 658 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 The positive is that we will hopefully see Fullerton, Kolt and AMW in 1

The only difference between us and the Pies is that their kids have skills and can run quick. Ours are plodders with limited skills. Agree though Layzie we need to play the kids like AMW and Kolt to give them experience for next season. Lack of decent depth means that some who should be dropped will stay in.

Not so much a rebuild as management of players to improve the team in 2025. I'd be playing Billings and McAdam for example to see if they give anything. Woewodin the same plus Laurie. Rivers a full time mid. Viney can have every third week off as can Gawn. This allows game time for the likes of Tholstrup Fullarton and Verral. 2024 isn't our year. Meandering along on the present course is simply draining our limited resources It won't be done of course but in some form it has merit Edited June 11, 2024 by Diamond_Jim
Little Richard 6,265 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Hopefully we see Sparrow get more time in the middle if Trac misses. It's make or break for him now so if the opportunity is there, he has to take it. I'd like to see Rivers and McVee roll through the middle too. Keen to see what McVee offers there, I think he has a lot of promise as a midfielder. 1

Little Richard 6,265 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 (edited) I think this is the team I'd like to see: FB: Tomlinson, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Langdon, Viney, Windsor HF: Neal-Bullen, Fullarton/Jefferson, Tholstrup FF: Pickett, Van Rooyen, Fritsch FL: Gawn, Oliver, Sparrow IC: Chandler, Moniz-Wakefield, Woewodin, Howes SUB: Sestan Midfield rotations to include Pickett, Salem, Rivers, McVee, ANB, maybe Tholstrup. Pretty inexperienced but these are all guys I believe are important going forward, so they do need more exposure at the top level. Also could have missed some important players here. Overall not actually confident this team would beat North. Edited June 11, 2024 by Scipio 1

He simply has to play himself back into form. Imagine a midfield without both Trac and Oliver... we wouldn't stand a chance, even against North.

McAdam I will give the benefit of the doubt due to injury recovery. Can understand your thoughts but if we are going anywhere in 2025 one of these three needs to make a meaningful contribution. I'd also give Jefferson a game or two and return Petty down back while managing May. 2024 is a write off IMO FWIW I think we are on the right track gameplan wise but it needs work/tweaking. Chandler's position is a worry. It seems that we can't lock down anyone in that role. Cannot see a role for Spargo going forward unfortunately. Edited June 11, 2024 by Diamond_Jim
Lexinator 1,931 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 I would like to see Woewodin be given a crack and at least a few full games too. Billings and Laurie not showing much, let the kid have a go! (Feel like a broken record when it comes to Woewodin). 2 1

JJR 681 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Now with Trac out, give the Kolt a go, he has the X factor, let him run in the guts.

Problem is Goodwin has publicly lauded him. Tom should be the first to go. I believe he's not had enough time in his natural position on the inside, so my point here is that this could be his chance to actually step up. I agree that he's underperformed enormously but what other young inside midfielders do we actually have?

Time to make selections for the future rather than the present. Unfortunately. Not sure that any other changes are more than rearranging the deck chairs. But the deck chairs have woodworm!
